Here for sale we have a Gibson Les Paul Less + in Desert Burst finish. Made in the USA in 2015, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body with Carved Flame Maple top, and a Mahogany neck topped with a 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is equipped with Chrome hardware including Tune-O-Matic bridge and StopBar tailpiece, as well as Gibson's G-Force robotic tuning machines with Kluson ‘Tulip’ style buttons. The pickups installed are a pair of Gibson humbuckers, with a '57 Classic in the neck and ‘57 Classic Plus in the bridge. These are wired to a 3-way toggle switch, independent volume controls, master tone and a Mini-Toggle Coil Split.

 

The Mahogany neck plays very well, with the rounded profile feeling substantial in the hand without being cumbersome, and providing a smooth and responsive playing experience in all registers. The increased 1.785” nut width retains traditional Les Paul string spacing, reducing the chance of ‘falling off’ the board during string bending and vibrato techniques. The body has been slimmed down considerably and still features traditional weight relief routing, as well as an additional belly carve body contour. The result is a lightweight but authentic guitar that offers a supremely comfortable playing experience in any position. The Gibson G-Force robotic tuning system delivers fantastic convenience, with standard and alternate tunings ready at the touch of a button, along with the option for user programmable tunings. 

 

Whilst it might have 'Less' in the name, it's certainly not 'Less' by nature with this guitar. The '57 Classic humbuckers provide a thick and rich tone that will rival Les Paul Standards. The neck position is warm and round, with huge solo tones and smooth, buttery distortion on offer. The ‘57 Classic Plus in the bridge delivers a little extra edge, great for putting your hard rock rhythm tones front and centre in the mix. The Mini-Toggle coil split feature allows you to thin down the sound for those clean sections or a more subtle crunch tone. A very versatile guitar with a perfectly balanced blend of traditional and modern appointments. This guitar truly is a fantastic celebration of its inventor's 100th birthday.

 

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.

    Aesthetic Condition:

    Headstock: Overall very good condition. Light chipping and scuffing is present to the top edge, with the wood lightly exposed to the treble side corner. The front face shows light indentation close to the B tuner and to the bass side of the logo, as well as light scratching under direct light as is common with high gloss finishes. 


    Neck: Overall very good condition. Light scratching and indentation to the rear of the neck is visible in most lighting, and is lightly felt under the thumb in the playing position. This is most notable in the lower/mid register. Light scratching to the fingerboard can be seen at the 16th fret but is difficult to discern from the natural grain. 

     

    Body: Overall good condition. The front face shows mild scratching to the treble side of the lower bout, close to the controls. Light scratching, denting and marking is present to all surfaces. This is most notable to the rear face.
